What's this?

I think it applies more in basketball and games with large disparity

In basketball, they get to play more than once, like Kansas and Texas.
Also, when a team significantly beats another team, like Kentucky's beat down of Kansas, it shows they are in another league.

The assumptions I made are as follow......
Kentucky > Kansas ( which based on a 20 point difference when they played, is probable)
and
Kansas = Texas (They played twice, and split games)

Now showing that both Notre Dame AND Duke beat Kentucky this season,
indicates that VT (which beat Notre Dame and Duke 3 times!!)
should be as good or better than Kentucky.

So of course VT can handle Kansas and therefore Texas.
The more data points you have, the more accurate Transitive is.

Go Hokies!!

Simply put, VT is very underrated, and Texas is very overrated. So. -- jonnyhawk 03/15/2022 3:48PM

I think VT is trending up and Texas trending flat-hope the trend continues ** -- VPI_1998 03/15/2022 7:28PM

Agrees just like football where the South Dakota State Jack Rabbits beat -- jdkhokie 03/15/2022 6:06PM

It's when you spread transitives across too many single matchups, that. -- jonnyhawk 03/15/2022 6:09PM

Do you know what was going on at the time of those games. Is this the same -- jdkhokie 03/15/2022 6:18PM

I think if VT brings their A game, easy win, Our B game will keep it close. -- jonnyhawk 03/15/2022 6:23PM

I certainly hope so. This game scares me more than a possible second round -- jdkhokie 03/15/2022 6:27PM

I think it all works out -- Hsthokie 03/15/2022 5:33PM

You, sir, are the King of Transitive!!! ** -- legalaire 03/15/2022 4:31PM

I really dislike transitive theory predictions -- hokieone 03/15/2022 4:07PM
